Let's go with the flow when we are weak

Natalie Keener: [using Ned as an example to fire someone over the internet using video conference] Mr. Laskim, The reason we're having this conversation is because your position at this company is no longer available

Ned: [reading the script he was given] I don't understand I'm fired?

Natalie Keener: Hearing the words "you've been let go" is never easy change is always scary but consider the following: anybody who ever built an empire, or changed the world, sat where you are now. And it's because they sat there that they were able to do it.

Ryan Bingham: [while watching her presentation, quietly to a colleague] that's my fucking line

Ned: what happens now?

Natalie Keener: This is the first step in a new process that will end with you at a job that fulfills you

Ned: Yeah, but how does it work?

Natalie Keener: You're going to take the packet in front of you review it, all the answers you're looking for are inside. Start filling out the necessary information and before you know it and before you know it you'll be on your way to new opportunities. I need you to go back to your desk and putting together your things. As a favor to me I'd appreciate it if you don't spread the news just yet panic doesn't help anyone

Ned: I understand

Natalie Keener: [to the staff] give it up for Ned

Natalie Keener: [concluding her presentation] You can start the morning in Boston stop in Dallas over lunch and finish the day in San Francisco all for the price of a T-1 line. Our inflated travel budget increased by eighty five percent, more importantly to you guys on the road, no more Christmases in a hotel in Tulsa no more hours lost to weather delays you get to come home.

Ryan Bingham: Tell me you're not taking this seriously

Craig Gregory: [in his office] That's why I brought the entire company in from the road because I'm not "taking this seriously"

Ryan Bingham: There's a methodology to what I do there's a reason why it works

Craig Gregory: Coke and IBM have been this for years are you familiar with them? Just like everything else it'll take a few months for the transition then everyone's going to settle in

Ryan Bingham: Who are you taking off the road?

Natalie Keener: How are not getting this? You're grounded everybody's grounded it's done

Ryan Bingham: What we do is brutal and it does leave people devastated there's a dignity to the way I do it

Craig Gregory: Like stabbing them in the chest instead of the back?

Ryan Bingham: Am I the only one that sees by doing this we're making ourselves "irrelevant"?

Craig Gregory: No we're making you "irrelevant",don't blame me blame the high fuel costs, blame insurance premiums, blame technology you better watch yourself you're too young to become a dinosaur

Ryan Bingham: I'm not a dinosaur

Craig Gregory: I want you to show her the ropes

Ryan Bingham: I'm not the only one who knows what's going on here, get someone else to do it you're very confident that this girl doesn't know what she's doing I don't think setting a MySpace page qualifies you to rewire an entire company

Craig Gregory: Great then here's your chance take her out there show her the magic, take her to the paces

Ryan Bingham: I'm not a fucking tour guide

Craig Gregory: We're ringing the bell and rounding everybody up you want to stay out there your welcome to but you will not be alone you let me know
